Going to do this for myself!

I feel great and have never had second thoughts about the surgery. Totally worth it!! My stomach muscles are still a bit tender and I need to use my arms more than my abs to sit up same as after my c section. Also not doing much lifting or exercise except walking. Other than that I am totally back to my normal life.

I went back to work a few days ago and its going pretty good. I have a desk job and can avoid much walking and all lifting when necessary. I'm not as tired as I thought I would be and I feel like the moving around is actually helping with the recovery. When I was home last week I was being really careful and having my family do everything for me. Going back to work has forced me to get up and bend/walk and just move in general more often and seems to be helping the skin and muscles to relax and not feel painfully tight. I'm not by any means pushing it or back to normal but I fell like I have made some major jumps in the recovery since going back to work. Standing straighter and feeling stronger every day! Going to get my stitches out in two days and the bruising has gone down considerable. Swelling is bad at the end of the day but it's all totally worth it! Added a few new pics!

Had my drains removed...not fun! Feel much better without the drain and I get to take a shower! Pretty tired from the doctor visit since everything is still exhausting so I'm going to wait until this afternoon to attempt the shower. Plus I'm alone and don't think its a great idea to be alone for the first shower! Feel pretty good overall, moving around a little better but still pretty slow. Think the results are amazing and its not even been a full week. Thank you Dr Hamacher! You are an amazing surgeon!
